Right, I'm a writer by trade, this is what I do.

I got a message from an old collegue at Virgin Atlantic saying that I had been thought of for a job as an engineer, desk based.
I worked for VA for a while before leaving to get this job. I would love to go back and I think the cash is better.

But I am a writer. But that job sounds challenging, very analytical, very interesting, great company.

But I write. I'm trying to get my own mag together. I edit a Beetle mag. If I live that long I want my own agency in about 5 years.

WHAT DO I DO?????????????????????????????????????????

Starionman, Is it alright if I send you an E-mail sometime, Re: getting into the writing business, or written word orientated areas? Considering leaping at an entirely different career area, and I'd appreciated your assistance and advice :)

Well the first once made sense, haven't received the second yet..

/Jumps up and down on the Send/Receive button. That'll learn you.

You seem happy enough in your employment as it stands? Surely the removal of this prospective job, shouldn't but too much of a dent into your career/future? :)

Received the second now, obviously the Murphy's has destroyed a few bazillion brain cells as none of the mail made any coherant sense whatsoever* ..

* The above may be a slight** exageration.

** massive.

Cheers matey, reply on way..
